How to make Harmony remote work with MCE ir reciever? - Killerzmurf - 2011-05-27 I'm using a MCE remote with a usb ir reciever(rc6) with my XBMC-live. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00066FIO6/ref=asc_df_B00066FIO61543283?smid=AODLCRC5J3W5W&tag=nextagusmp0357671-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B00066FIO6 Just bought a Harmony 600 universal remote but can't find the ir reciever when adding devices to controll. http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/remotes/universal-remotes/devices/6620 Need help to make my harmony work with my ir-reciever, anyone? - Killerzmurf - 2011-05-28 My best solution for my problem was to add the "asrock ION 330ht" as a device as this is a pretty similar setup as mine. I built my own HTPC from scratch based on an ION motherboard, so using the asrock was just a wild guess. It looks like most of the buttons are working just as the original mce; so far this is doing the job. If someone has a better solution please let me know - htpc guy - 2011-05-28 I set mine up as a windows media center pc. I'm using a Antec Veris VFD display/ir receiver. Prior to that I was using a windows media center usb dongle. I didn't need to change a thing when I swiched to the Veris. - mrsensei - 2011-05-28 I've been wanting to setup my Harmony remote with XBMC for quite some time but until recently had no luck. Initially I purchased a generic MCE remote which I couldn't get to work with the Harmony remote to the point that I wanted. I finally purchased a Microsoft brand MCE USB ir receiver (eBay $10) and setup the Harmony remote as a Brand: Microsoft Device: MCE Keyboard If you setup XBMC in the system functions to 'remote sends keys' then all you have to do is setup the Harmony remote buttons to the appropriate keys. I believe the Microsoft USB ir receiver you have can be setup for keyboard as well. (I believe/hope). You then can setup the 'Info Button' = I 'Ok/Enter'=<return> 'Play'/'Pause'=P 'Exit'=<backspace> 'Clear'=<Esc> 'Stop'=X 'Subtitles'=T and so on and so on.... I love my Harmony remote now and would never go back. I hope this helps. 'Cause nothing complements a nice XBMC Home Theater setup like a nice Harmony remote |
